fill the old pipe and await developments 
You haven’t long to wait as a bunch of 
blue-bills flying by see the decoys, swing 
sharply to the left and, without any pre 
liminary circling, drop into your decoys. 
You tell Bill, your partner, to keep his 
eye on them while you bring him down. 
The anchor line is unhooked and, the 
blind acting as a sail in the stiff breeze, 
takes you down with very little paddling. 
A.s you get nearer your decoys you get a 
bit flustered up and your heart starts 
pounding like a motor with a loose rod. 
Now you are well up to the decoys and 
Bill signals that the birds are on the 
eft side of the decoys. You are now 
•eady for the kill. The birds have been 
molding well and are still in the water. 
Bill’s left hand reacts for his gun and 
vith the right he unhooks the staple: 
town goes the blind. As Bill drops the 
t>lind you, with a stroke of the paddle, 
hrow the boat slightly broadside, giv- 
ng yourself a chance to shoot without 
ndangering Bill. With the drop of the 
blind the ducks are in the air. Bill 
flakes an easy double and you miss the 
[irst but land with the second on a bird 
hat tries to sneak past the boat. 
Three birds on the first attempt — 
ot at all bad; but it doesn’t always 
,appen that way. On days when the 
iirds are wild and restless you some- 
imes do not get within shooting dis- 
ance before the birds become suspicious 
nd leave. On other days the birds will 
( old well and you have no trouble in 
.etting up with them. Granting that 
ou are an experienced duck hunter and 
fair shot, the result of a day’s hunt 
largely determined by the manner in 
hich the birds are acting. If they are 
ying and come to your decoys you have 
le chance to shoot and the result then 
up to you. If, on the other hand, 
ley are not flying or will not come to 
aur decoys, that lets you out. On some 
iys they may not pay any attention 
decoys set off from the points but 
ill decoy well to a layout or sneak 
looting set. Then is the time that a 
eak blind comes in very handy. If, on 
>ur first attempt at sneak shooting, the 
rds get up before you get to them, do 
>t be discouraged. Sneak shooting is 
game that requires skill and good 
dgment and this you will acquire after 
little practice. It is exciting and just 
little different from other forms of 
inting and you will like it. Try it this

Bass! 41 pounds of ’em 
on a Surf-Oreno 
“ and after about one hour and thirty minutes of fishing, using 
South Bend Reels and the Surf-Oreno we netted what you see in the 
picture. The smallest bass is three pounds — the largest is nine and three- 
quarters. We had about ten more in the well that we did not string.” 
(Extract of letter received July 13th — name and address on application.) 
N INETY minutes — seven bronze-backs — and a total of 
forty-one pounds of fish, is mighty good evidence that 
the Surf-Oreno , with a South Bend Reel is a combination 
hard to beat. 
And the Surf-Oreno is but one of the famous family of South Bend Oreno 
baits, suitable for bass and other game-fishing. There's the Bass-Oreno, the 
Babe-Oreno, the Musk-Oreno, the Troll-Oreno, the Tarp-Oreno, the Trout- 
Oreno, the Fly-Oreno and others — everyone a tried and proven fish-getter. 
At the side here, is shown the South Bend Anti- Back-Lash Reel, the reel with 
the famous anit-back-lash feature which enables one to cast without back-lash, 
snarl or tangle. Needs no thumbing. Guaranteed without time limitation’ 
The Surf-Oreno is the ideal top- water bait that “makes ’em hit" on the 
surface. The spinners cut the water edge creating a churning noise and 
action most alluring to the big ones. Also proven a wonder for night fishing. 
1 3 standard colors. The M idget Surf-Oreno, smaller in size, has the same action 
The Weedless Buck-tail Spinner can be used for bass and other game fish 
in the thickest of weeds, docks or lily pads. A mighty effective fish-getter, 
especially when used with a pork rind.
